2 Answers
Buick Excelle refers to the Excelle model. Taking the 2020 Excelle 15N manual elite edition as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with a length, width, and height of 4468mm, 1765mm, and 1469mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2611mm. It is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, with a top speed of 170 km/h. The 2020 Excelle 15N manual elite edition uses a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 107 hp and a maximum torque of 133 Nm. The maximum torque speed is 4000 rpm, and it adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a compound torsion beam non-independent suspension. The tire specification is 185/65R15.
I've been driving the Buick Excelle for several years, and it's really a great car. Positioned as a compact family sedan, it offers ample space—enough to comfortably seat three adults in the back when taking the family out, and the trunk can fit luggage and even a stroller. The driving experience is smooth and stable, making city stop-and-go traffic less tiring, with seamless acceleration powered by a 1.5L engine that provides adequate power for daily driving without racing. Fuel efficiency is worry-free, averaging around 7L/100km in the city and dropping to 6L on highways, using affordable 92-octane gasoline. Maintenance is budget-friendly, with oil changes costing just a few hundred yuan at repair shops. Basic safety features like ABS and dual airbags are included, ensuring peace of mind when driving with kids. The downside is the interior materials are average, though newer models have improved slightly. Compared to rivals like the Volkswagen Lavida, the Excelle offers much better value for money—available for just over 100,000 yuan with lower maintenance costs. I often recommend it to friends—it's practical, reliable, and perfect for commuting and weekend trips, making it an ideal first car for families.
